General Grievous "Unrelenting Advance" Animation Bug

Product: Star Wars Battlefront II
Platform:PC
What is your issue related to? General
Summarize your bug General Grievous' "Unrelenting Advance" has an issue with having the animation of his ability start, but not receiving any of the benefits that go along with it. This can happen while trying to activate the ability, or while trying to cancel it.
What is your gamertag/PSN ID/EA Account name? Zeradith_TV
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Can you tell us the date (MM/DD/YYYY) that you saw the bug? 12/24/2019
What time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM) ~12:00AM
In what game mode did the bug occur? Capital Supremacy
What is your time zone? CST - GMT - 6:00
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Press Grievous' "Unrelenting Advance", any time during the ability; press W or S, and E simultaneously; this will make the bug occur almost every time. This is how to make it occur when you are trying to cancel the ability. As to how to have the bug occur as you are trying to activate it, I believe the same method can make it occur; though not every time.
What happens when the bug occurs? Grievous is stuck in the "Unrelenting Advance" animation, but doesn't gain any of the benefits from the ability; leading to a lot of unfair and frustrating deaths.
What do you expect to see? For the ability to cancel or activate properly

So I just started playing this game after the Celebration addition came out, having a lot of fun so far; but my favorite Separatist leader, General Grievous; has an annoying animation bug. Sometimes when you try to press E (I play on PC) the animation for Unrelenting Advance will come out (So he'll start spinning his blades) but I won't get any of the benefits from it and the ability won't say that it's active. I'll then have to press it again to actually activate it. On the flip-side, sometimes I try to cancel the ability early and the vise-versa will happen. I cancel, and the ability's animation reactivates, I lose all the affects of the ability (He doesn't reflect blaster bolts from the front nor do the sabers do any damage, AND I can't move regularly either, I am stuck in the "Unrelenting Advance" movement so I can't move backwards. This bug has caused A LOT of deaths on Grievous and it's EXTREMELY frustrating.

  • Exact same issue and then after the ability times out it still continues the animation but before i could choose another ability to get out of it but today only way I could get out of it was to be hit by an enemy player. Unreal they fixed thrust surge after all that time and now he has a worse bug with another ability imo

  • This issue is in the game since Grievous launched. They actually released a fix for this that greatly reduced the occurence of this bug 2 or 3 months ago. Before the "fix" it was happening A LOT more often (pretty much 2 of 3 activations/deactivations were bugged). The bug became a bit rare since then.

    Yes i know its been there since his launch but it wasn't as bad as now. Before u could use an ability to get out of it but now u can't at times. As for saying now it's rare, not for me it's not. It was rare i saw this bug but since the last update i see it everytime I go him
